December 04 with 8900 on it.

 

OK this is the final deal if this does not work out i am pulling the plug on this project. I just sent Sam my spare pulleys we are going with the 3.12 serp,34 j/s cog and 28 s/c cog. floridaboy sent me a pm telling me that with this setup and with the 560-8mgt-20 cog belt it worked out fine seeing he just ran this setup on his T-trim revup vortech. the only thing we will have to alter are the lips on the idler pulley. they need to be machined down a little bit to clear the cog pulleys once installed.this cog configuration will slow the blower down a little bit, i figured compared to the 2.87,32,28 setup at 6600 rpm it will slow the supercharger down 1234.9 total rpm. this should affect my total hp output and tourqe a bit. at this point i just want my z back. i have been with out my car for over 2 months now and i relized enough is enough!

 

Good choice JET - having a ton of power (but not the absolute highest) is much better than not having your car at all. Best of luck with this setup!

 

yeah man let me know how that works out and what sam thinks of the ides.. also im sure u wont see that much power drop MAYBE 1 pound at most!!!!! going to be nice to see what to Si trim acutually makes

 

i just want to say thanks to Sam @ GTM and his techs for all of the hard work they have put into this project and also dealing with all of the pain in the *** issues with my car. hopefully this new pulley configuration will work with out any problems. i highly recommend GTM!!!!!!!!

 

sort of confused... GTM had your car for over 2months and still u are not done??? I hope they arent charging u for all that time there and I'm not sure if I would say I highly recommand GTM.

 

^GTM is not for everyone specially if your Z is DD, "most" GTM customers have a daily beater and their Z is a weekend fun. I seriously can't trust anyone else to touch/tune my car except GTM, their equipments are state of the art too.

 

Got a call from Sam this morning he is seting my car up today with the 34/28/3.12 pulley arrangement. Sam informed me that he is shooting really hard to get it on the dyno tonight. im crossing my fingers that this works out. i will post the results as soon as i hear back....wish me luck.....

 

Your car may need the luck more than you.LOL

 

True......wish her luck. LOL..........

 

Just heard back from Sam. since we changed the pulleys to the 3.12 34/28 the car has lost considerable power and will not make power past 6000 RPM ( only about 400 RWHP at this point ). he said the car performed much better with the 2.87 32/28 (430 RWHP AT 5000RPM before) but at this point i am not throwing any more money at it to pull the blower assembly back off again to reconfigure it back and maybe have cog belt issues again. i am sick of throwing money at this car and i have decided to cut my losses. he is going to finish up the tune now and tell me what he can pull for power on a final run. i will get the car back to Vegas, de mod and sell the z. i will advertise the parts for sale in the members for sale section. it was fun but i am going to move on back to old school. 68 to 69 camaro maybe with a big block ...........

 

damnit.
Uh, dibs on Catch Cans and gauges?

 

Ok. i need to get a full list together and prices. i am going to need to purchase some stock parts ie exhaust, sways, wheels, etc.etc or trade stock and some money for my modded parts.

 

Check out the thread on zen of available stock parts.

 

Sorry to hear that JET. It sounds like this will probably be a major relief for you. At least you tried to push the limits!! Best of luck with the American muscle

Oh, and I'll be watching out for that FS thread

 

ya funny GTM couldnt make it work when they just put out a 500 hp T-trim and a few other high HP vortechs.

not sure what made yoru so different??

 

Sam mentioned that i should go with the T-trim for my application and it would probably work out very well but i have though it over and decided its time for the z to go. i am sick of spending $600.00 a pop for tunes + the drive to cali every time. this **** just does not make sense anymore. for the money i have spent for the car and all of the parts and tuning i could of had a c6 zo6 by now. the only next logical step is to go built with twins but there is no way i am going to drop another 25 to 30 grand in this car. that would put me at over 100 grand into this car! sorry guys but im out!!!!!!!!!

 

That 500whp T-trim car is a non-revup. I met the owner a year ago when I was there. I might be wrong, but I think that car has been a kinda long term project and took a year for it to go from the last dyno that was posted here to his newest one

 

Sry to hear about that man!!!! i would say get the ttrim like i said i ran that setup and it worked flawless

 

What is the part number on the t-trim unit you are running? i want to check on pricing. i should not be doing this!!!! im getting sucked back in again... i think this is a disease. do they have a help group for mod-itis!!!!!!
